Sanctions pressure on Russia due to the war it unleashed with Ukraine should increase. About what other sanctions the countries of the world can impose in order to squeeze the Russian economy as much as possible in the grip of the Russian economy, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba spoke in an article for the Washington Post.

“In terms of sanctions, Russian state-owned Sberbank should be banned from using SWIFT, countries should stop buying Russian oil, which is now stained with Ukrainian blood, and ban Russian ships from entering ports.; and the hard currency of Russian financial institutions in the US, Switzerland, Japan, the UK and the EU should be frozen,"

The minister insists that the Russian Federation and Putin should be completely isolated. Russian ambassadors and representatives should be excluded from international organizations. Boycotts and bans on cultural and sporting events should be expanded.

" As Ukraine's emissary to the world, I have been deeply moved by the millions of people who have protested the Russian invasion on the streets of their capitals, increasing pressure on their governments to act.. But much more can and should be done to stop Russia..

No time to wait or hesitate. The time has come to pass this collective test of our humanity.. It's time to prove that the 21st century will be different from the 20th century,"
